What terminal are you using that crashes so often? I’ve used Linux and Mac terminals for ages and cannot remember one terminal crash.

Same for me in Linux and Windows. If your terminal regularly crashes because of memory corruption, there’s something wrong with your setup.

Maybe it's the way I use it, but iTerm2 crashes (or hangs) fairly regularly for me on macOS. I usually need to restart it at least once a week, which means losing ~dozens of tabs with context in them.

I use urxvt on Linux, and I don't have any problems with it.

Edit: I should also mention that I see plenty of non-crashing, non-hanging bugs with iTerm2 that look like memory misuse to me: split-workspace mode (tiled with a text editor) causes wonky graphical errors, and I've seen what looked like buffer reuse artifacts when switching between monitors.

I have run across one - of maybe a dozen terminals I've tested because I'm difficult and have very specific requirements of a terminal - that crashes on weird input. I can't even remember which one it was, because I moved on, but odds are it was while testing unusual features like Sixel or ReGIS support.

I crashed iTerm2... once. In 6 years that I used it. Oh and the VS code embedded terminal has stopped rendering on me once.

I cannot recall any crashes in alacritty, gnome-terminal, xfce-terminal or the legacy windows console for other terminals I've used a decent amount.

It's been a while, but gnome-terminal on earlier gnome 3 releases used to segfault very frequently for me. It's the thing that finally made me seek out other terminal emulators

I had the same experience with gnome-terminal back on Ubuntu 14.04 (or maybe even 12.04, it's been a while).

rxvt-unicode regularly segfaults... during "quit".

I can't remember my terminal emulator ever crashing, much less crashing due to memory corruption. Maybe I've just been lucky.
